wow, i don't even know how in hell to use these text-editor things. bye-bye, arial narrow, i'll miss you.

i'll just type and see what happens then.

soz about the tremendous gaps.
i've been meaning to write in here for ages but haven't been online much (apart from a random mobile facebook update or check of the weather). as shouldn't be even remotely surprising, time hasn't been any more forgiving now than it was last year. i think as we age, time actually is relative...by way of speeding up, that is.

oh, the winning lottery numbers.

if i played the lottery, i wouldn't have picked those numbers anyway.

work has been . .. 'worky.' it isn't good, but it's not terrible; in this economy, i'm just glad i've got something.

not everyone we know has been so lucky:
e.g. mike's dad, who just got permanently 'laid off' (better than being sacked for unemployment filing, anyhow) after having worked for the same company over 17 years. there was no warning for him, either; management went up to him near the end of his shift the other day and was just like, 'okay, so uh don't come back next week mate, kthxbye.' how daft.

at any rate, they have enough money saved for when they're pensioners, but it's still unfortunate as they've got to first make it to that age.

that's the closest to home, but we've been hearing about a lot of stories like this lately. economic rebound, my arse.

we've been busy with friends and fam lately & are looking for a house between engagements.

married life is quite swell; it's, in a way, not terribly different than before, other than we get on better and haven't got to deal with dating pressures anymore. no-one's lost the plot yet, but it's still new, hahah.

for valentine's day, mike surprised me by having flowers delivered to me at work; it's a varied bouquet & he was sure to order fresh bulbs, most of which were closed when the parcel arrived. he's not too keen on flowers as 'they die right away', but he knows i love them, so he figured he'd buy me some to last a bit longer. it worked quite well; they lasted for a few weeks. (=
so thoughtful, him. (= <3

since tuesday and for the rest of this week, i've off of work. the firm lost a huge project, so there's not much available until next week. i'll be one of very few people there from the sound of it, but it's nice to have a few days until then to tidy up, to finish a few things i've not been able to, and - most importantly - to relax a bit. i'm keen to lay in tomoz, as i couldn't today; the maintenance guy had to take the annual look at our central air system, so i'd had to be up early for his arrival.

(not proper to answer the door in just a pyjama top & black lace pants...though i suspect mike thinks otherwise, hahah.)

i've had a lot of doctor exams over the past two weeks. still awaiting the results, though i was told that i'd receive a posted letter a fortnight hence if everything went well. i actually am hoping i've not jinxed myself here; it'd be nice to not get a phone call for a change. i wasn't told about when or how i'd receive the results from the blood-work i'd done on tuesday, but i think that's what i'm most fretting over.

if nothing else, my blood pressure is good. (=

anyhow, i guess this was really a whole lot of nothin'...but it's still an update. so much time passes that i tend to forget the details in the interim.

we've a pretty busy week-end planned, and who knows when i'll have something interesting to write about again. i can't even manage that now. =P

cheers & be well!

ps. how do i make this font look smaller? tried editing the html but didn't work. it's too big, like a monster attack by gigantic poisonous letters.
